The Caitlin Clark Effect: The No. 1 overall pick is primed to assist the Fever to new heights

NEW YORK — Caitlin Clark is accustomed to dropping 30-pieces and breaking scoring records. Her own point totals are not what has her excited about officially joining the Indiana Fever as the No. 1 overall pick in the 2024 WNBA Draft.

It’s the ones to come from Aliyah Boston, the Fever’s 2023 No. 1 overall pick whom Clark called “one of the best post players in the entire world.”

“My point guard eyes just light up at that,” Clark said Monday night at the Brooklyn Academy of Music.

The general consensus from analysts, league evaluators and Clark herself is that the NCAA’s all-time leading scorer’s passing ability is what will quickly translate to the professional level.
